Hi members,
How can I get the coordiantes of form fields from a exsiting pdf file?
I can get the list of the field names but have no idea on how to
retrieve the cooresponding coordinate vlaues (/Rect values ) for each
text field.
Here is the code I used. Any advise will be appreciated
PdfDictionary dic;
PdfAnnotation ano;
PdfObject pobj;
String field, name;
PRAcroForm$FieldInformation fi;
PdfReader reader = new
PdfReader("myExistingPdf_with_Form_text_fields");
PRAcroForm acroForm = reader.getAcroForm ();
ArrayList fields = acroForm.getFields();
Iterator iter = fields.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext())
{
fi = (PRAcroForm$FieldInformation)iter.next();
name = fi.getName();
//print form field name: works fine
System.err.println"field name " + name);
dic = fi.getInfo();
pobj = dic.get(PdfName.RECT);
if (pobj!=null) // always null here
{
System.err.println(name + ": " +
((PdfRectangle)pobj).left() + " " +
((PdfRectangle)pobj).right() + " " +
((PdfRectangle)pobj).top() + " " +
((PdfRectangle)pobj).bottom());
}
} //while
Thanks.
